[Ansteorra] Plans for 30th celebrations

[Robert Fitzmorgan]

  I am working to setup a Bardic Tribute to Ansteorra's 30 years of
greatness at the 30th Year Celebration.  The details are not yet confirmed.
The basic idea is a Bardic Circle where we perform songs, poems and stories
from and about our history.
  I am also in the planning stages for an Ansteorran History Museum at the
event.  Details will be posted as soon as they are confirmed.
